Brooklyn Police Needed Here.
New York April 12.—The exist-
ence of a baud of fire bugs and anar-
chiete in Brooklyn was discovered
today. Two men are in jail; one
has made a full* confession.
Authorities are convinced they have
canght the incendiaries who are re-
sponsible for most of the fires in
Brooklyn since January.
Springfield Ohio April 12.—This
morning fire broke out in the stock
room of Winter’s Art Lithographing
company. The building and ma-
chinery is a total wreck.
The company had the contract for
all the World’s fair lithographing.

Washington April 12.—The de-
parture of Attorney General Miller
for a tour through the south to in-
spect the judicial districts of Louis
iana and Texas is looked upon as
possibly having also some political
bearing. The situation in Louisiana
is looked upon by republicans
here as extremely important
now and if the little squabbles
in republican ranks there can be
healed and the big ones in the demo-
cratic party kept going the chances
of republican success are looked upon
as almost certain.
New Orleans April 12.—Owing to
lack of telegraph communication de-
tails of the terrible flood in the vicin-
ity of Columbus Miss.are notobtain
able. From information received
from other sources the reported
drowning of one hundred ne-
groes is confirmed. The presi-
dent of the board of super
visors of Lowndes county Mississippi
has sent a telegram to Hon.
John M. Allen now in Washington
saying hundreds of people have been
drowned by the floods of the Tom big-
bee river and thousands made home-
less besides the destruction of all
cattle and stock in the region. He
states that it is beyond the means of
the people to relieve the distress and
asked *if Mr. Allen could not
secure government aid. A special
from Grenada Mississippi says:
“Reports of damage by recent floods
continue to come in from all direc-
tions. Most of the bridges in the
country are washed away. Miss
Price aged eighteen while attempt-
ing to row a boat from her house near
Tuscahoma Ferry surrounded by
water was thrown out by the rush-
ing water and drowned. Bhe was in
quest of food. Special dispatches
from Montgomery Ala. says: ‘'Rain
which has been falling again all the
way from Gadsden to Monti
gomery only adds to swel
the Alabama river which*
has reached forty-five feet above high
water wark. All lowlands are now
under water. The Coosa river at
Gadsden Ala. is thirty feet above
low water mark. Trains over the
Illinois Central to Chicago and St.
Louis have been resumed.
Atlanta Ga. April 12 —A seusa-
sational exposure of famine and des-
titution in the Exposition Mill dis-
trict near the city limits Is made to
day. Pneumonia fever and measles
help starvation to carry oft tbe victims
who are left unburied.
There are bouses where dead bodies
lie in beds with the fever stricken
living and in some families of 8 or 10
all are ill and starving. Many will
die before morning. _
| |lf any large element in the repub
lican party should be beaten down
and jumped on as tbe silver demo*
crate were tbe organization would be
virtually disbanded. Republicans
would not permit or endure such
treatment. Yet the silver democrats
after being treated in a manner that
was not merely unfair arbitrary and
tyrannical but which was humiliat-
ing to the last degree will not waver
in their party allegiance. The party
seems determined to test them to the
uttermost and see whether though
it slay them they will yet trust it.
Hence it was that debate was put off
and the silver Democrats were denied
an opportunity even to vote on their
measure. But tbe “most unkindest
cut of all” was when Crisp himself a
free coinage man and as such elected
to the House and placed in tbe
speaker's chair was compelled to
strike the blow that killed the Biand
bill. Nothing that could mortity or
humiliate the tree silver democrats
was omitted.
